Azrak Hamway International (AHI) Batman Toys

Azrak Hamway Index

Famous for their rack toys Azrak Hamway produced an insane amount of items based on the world's most merchandisable Superhero, Batman. No doubt pumped by the reruns of the 1966 television series and his success on Saturday morning, AHI managed to pump out an incredible amount of affordable toys in a short time. (Images courtesy of Bill Frost) This carded Batmobile shows AHI's wilder side in terms of packaging design, check out that Joker. A different Batmobile with a wildly different card. A poor man's version of the Corgi set. Everyone had to see this one coming the AHI parachuting Batman. Parachuting Robin, a real toughie to find MOC (courtesy of Will Frost) Batman pull string Bat Cycle, I love the little vinyl cape. Batcycle on an elaborate display card. A higher priced item, a remote controlled bat boat. By that late seventies the packaging got a bit more reserved.. An early boxed remote controlled batmobile. An later boxed remote controlled batmobile. A boxed Batman Zoom Cycle, whcih makes more sense than the Planet of the Apes versions, AHI also sold. I don't know how these toys constitute a "play set" but the card art is lovely. Spin Batman until he barfs!. When it comes to licensed rack toys, AHI was the absolute king. This may have been due to the hiring of former Mego Vice President Neil Saul in the early Seventies. Saul brought with him much of his licensing expertise honed at Mego.
